Pluribus [Drama, Sci-Fi] (Page 3 of 4)

John Cena's explainer video was the best part.

I love how they pass on to a viewer the annoyance of listening to that "we need some space" recorded message

They can't pick an apple but they have no problem carving and mincing up dead bodies??

That apple statement imo is weak, because you can slap it with a logic from multiple sides.

1) By picking up apples from the ground you are taking away food from birds, random small animals, worms etc. etc. (chances are you are killing some of them by starving them)

2) Apple tree actually "wants" you to pick apples (to spread seeds)

3) You can plant billions of apple trees and not starve even if you are allowed just to pick up stuff from the ground

Even then, apples are only one example. There's plenty of short-lived organisms, especially insects, that you could easily give an amazing life to and then simply collect the bodies shortly thereafter. Besides, the human body needs quite a few things that aren't just "protein", and consuming only liquids isn't very healthy either.

I find it somewhat unbelievable that she would still be listening to that entire recording every time, rather than saying "yeah yeah i get it please remove that" after maybe the third time.

That weird radio frequency he was picking up... that's gotta be how they communicate, right?

MG shit the bed before getting out of the driveway! Talk about realism. I wonder how he plans to get through the Darien Gap?

The giant fireworks had me really worried - I would've thought she would tilt the chair at the last second or the fuse goes out by coincident...but it barely missing her face and she doesn't react at all - priceless

I actually thought "they" would do something to stop it from killing her thus proving that they are always watching and protecting her, which in turn would piss her off even more.

1.)
Probably the most interesting part about the episode was their thirst for new knowledge, especially the Wycaro novel.
Of course, since they already know every story written and every possible piece of media thought of by artists, they must be pretty bored - at least they made it look like that.
What would happen then if Carol would agree to become one of them?, they would never ever get a new story...

2.)
When Pirate Lady (I know her name, I just like calling her that ) told her that a man in Bulgaria was accidentally impaled on an iron fence...that confused me.
That either means that some of them are still working dangerous jobs or that one of them just happened to wander around and fall ?
I would have imagined that people only die from natural causes anymore in the hive.

With the combined knowledge of all people and...as we have seen with the croquet...even muscle memory that felt weird.

3.)
At the end when Pirate Lady reminiscent about her past... That looked almost like she forgot she was part of the hive...very interesting.
--------------------------
On the other hand I gave up on the way they tell Manousos's story...they just fumbled this one alltogether. Especially now that we had the perfect set-up at the ending of the episode.

Wouldn't it have been a whole of a lot better if
- Pirate Lady said, you have a visitor
- We hear the door bell ringing
- Carol answers the door, it's Manousos
- He responds to her insulting him when they had the phone call.
- Episode ends.
- Next episode we get Manousos's story...in an abbreviated version of what we got splattered across the episodes.
